Hello again ladies, preggo Q & A

Not sure if anyone recognizes me, but I use to follow this board very often. However, due to my toddler keeping me quite busy, my social networking time is limited. Anyhow, Mia just turned 2 July 23rd, and since Toby and I got married June 17th, we started "trying" to expand our family. I got my period today and felt very discouraged. I know I shouldn't since I am blessed to have a beautiful daughter and some others have such a tough time, but I always thought that when we actually "tried" that it wouldn't be so difficult. Do any of you mommys have tips on how to conceive??? I read a million different tips, but I think going to the experts is the way to go........please help.

Hello fellow friends.

I remember you, Amanda! Why are you not on the FB group?Congrats on getting married! Anyway.. it took us 5 months to conceive with Tatum. It's tricky because an egg only lives like 24 hours. Luckily, sperm lives for about 3, so you have a little window. Anyway, they sell ovulation prediction tests (OPK's) where you can see where you are in your cycle and if you are ovulating. Then just DTD and hopefully it helps you get pregnant a lot faster!

Buy OPK's on ebay! You can buy a crapton of them for way less than the store. I'm due Feb 18th with our fifth child. Got pregnant back in May with the second cycle using them. I would test in the am and in the pm so not to miss the surge. Basel body temp recording is another great way to know if you are ovulating. You might want to google that for a chart. I know that is how our second and third were conceived before I knew about opk's.
